abstract: Provides comprehensive cytokine profiling analysis through quality control
  using biologically meaningful cutoffs on raw cytokine measurements and by testing
  for distributional symmetry to recommend appropriate transformations. Offers exploratory
  data analysis with summary statistics, enhanced boxplots, and barplots, along with
  univariate and multivariate analytical capabilities for in-depth cytokine profiling
  such as Principal Component Analysis based on Andrzej Maćkiewicz and Waldemar Ratajczak
